Hebrew media: The army will carry out operations in the southern Gaza Strip within hours, and strong explosions and artillery sounds will be heard

Military analysts believe that these operations may aim to destroy what remains of the resistance's infrastructure.

Sources reported that military forces intend to carry out a series of field operations in the southern areas of the Gaza Strip within the next few hours.

This new escalation comes amidst tragic humanitarian conditions experienced by the residents of the Strip, portending a new wave of violence that could deepen the current crisis and increase the complexities of the political and security landscape.

The southern areas of the Gaza Strip, particularly the cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah, are sensitive contact points that have witnessed intensive military operations by the occupation throughout the past months.

These areas have suffered widespread destruction of infrastructure as a result of continuous aerial and artillery bombardment, leading to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians to more crowded and less secure areas.

This field movement intersects with international pressures led by "America" to reach a truce, as leaks indicate the "Trump" administration's desire to politically handle the Gaza file to allow the "occupation" to focus on other fronts, including the escalating tension with Iran.

In the context of warning settlers and its public opinion, sources clarified that the southern region of the Strip will witness significant military activity.

Sources indicated that residents in the surrounding areas will hear violent explosions and strong artillery sounds resulting from these planned military movements.

Military analysts believe that these operations may aim to destroy what remains of the resistance's infrastructure or carry out localized raids based on intelligence information.

These anticipated military operations in southern Gaza place the region before grim scenarios, as the "occupation" appears to be continuing its military decisive approach despite international warnings.

As the sound of artillery is awaited in the coming hours, eyes remain on the extent to which diplomatic moves, especially from "America," can curb the escalation and prevent the Strip from sliding into further destruction, amidst the "Trump" administration's ambitions to rearrange the Middle East files.
